Maths and English language GCSEs are usually required for universities, and you might also need a science GCSE for paramedic science. Check out the Entry requirements section on the paramedic course pages of uni websites that you might consider applying to. They will state what GCSEs and A levels (or equivalent) are needed. For example, for Paramedic Science at Sheffield Hallam:
UCAS points - 128
From A levels which must include at least 32 points from either a natural science subject, such as Biology, Chemistry or Physics, or equivalent BTEC National qualifications which includes natural modules. We do not accept AS levels or general studies.
For example:
ABB at A Level including relevant subject(s)
DDM in BTEC Extended Diploma
Distinction overall from a T level qualification
A combination of qualifications including relevant subject(s)
You can find information on making sense of UCAS tariff points here and use the UCAS tariff calculator to work out your points.
Or
Access to HE Diploma from a QAA recognised Access to HE course in health studies, health science, nursing or another science-based course. Normally we require 15 of the level 3 credits to be graded at distinction with 9 of these distinctions from natural science units.
